Pro-Bel Launches Morpheus Foundation - The Out-Of-The-Box Automation System
Reading, UK – 22nd January 2007: Recognising the need for an entry-level automation system that provides essential functionality with an effortless out-of-the-box approach to installation and commissioning, Pro-Bel has launched Morpheus Foundation.
Combining the high levels of functionality and reliability for which the company is rightly known, Morpheus Foundation is a targeted, technological response to market requirements with a price point to match.
Capitalising on ongoing development work that has occurred with parent product Morpheus, Morpheus Foundation allows broadcasters to take an effortless first step onto the next generation automation ladder. Based completely on format and device-independent platforms, Morpheus Foundation provides a self-contained, fast and responsive environment to control from one to six delivery channels.
By capturing in detail a user’s requirements and planned environment at the time of purchase – and making full use of the company’s highly evolved approach to third party integration – the system is fully specified and configured at the factory. This means that it can be shipped, installed and commissioned as fast as possible.
Of course, Morpheus Foundation addresses all the key areas of content management and delivery: ingest (live, from tape or direct file import), storage management, playout, master control and router automation, real-time manual intervention and feedback, graphics/logo insertion, closed captioning/subtitling, GPI interface, extended data services, EAS integration for the US market, traffic interface, schedule and as-run log conversion options. But the system can also be expanded as businesses require and there is a clearly defined upgrade path to Morpheus. All systems come with a one-year Gold Support Contract that provides access to a 24/7 helpdesk manned by experienced engineers. A comprehensive set of training courses is also available.
“We have led the way in the automation market for many years now and as such have a clear understanding of evolving requirements. We have recognised that the industry needs a high functionality, low price point automation system that allows simpler operations access to cutting edge technology at an affordable price. But equally, we recognise that there must be a clear upgrade path that is also affordable. Morpheus Foundation is our response to those requirements,” explains Adrian Scott, CMO, Pro-Bel.
